Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Highland, IN

Amazing dining experience- where staff are career professionals and food and service show their dedication to craft and hospitality

The ambiance and service was excellent. The food was mouth watering. Everything was delicious from the bread to the entrees.

Oh my Goooood! Best food my husband and friends have had in a WHILE!! Positively impressed with the portions, the taste and the service. I ordered the zucchini flower, the Halibut and a passion fruit for dessert, and my husband had the octopus (soo tender!), ribeye steak and Guava cheese cake. Everything was fabulous! Can’t wait to go back!

Food and service was excellent. The only drawback is that the tables are very close to each other, which makes it less intimate.

What a treat to rediscover RL after moving from Chicago a few years ago! On a bitter cold and snowy day, we decided on a last minute late lunch and had a marvelous meal. Our server, Amanda was outstanding, personable and enthusiastically answered my husband's questions about the walleye, which he throughly enjoyed. It was light and flavorful and deemed as good as (though he meant better) than the shore lunches he had while fishing in Canada. I enjoyed the off the menu special crab cake that was sumptuous and delicious to the last bite....better than the ordinary restaurant fare. Though we usually like to read the dessert menu and then pass so we can smugly congratulate ourselves on our willpower, we gave in this day when Amanda told us about the peanut butter cheesecake-like texture presented as a small cake shape and drizzled with chocolate. Boy if there was ever a time to deviate from our cautious approach to desserts, this was it! This was how do they describe it, "smack your mama good?" That was it. So good we talked about it on our way back home to Michigan...the entire visit this time renewed our love for Chicago and the little moments like this that mean so much. A great way to spend some time during a classic urban winter snow storm. Thank you Amanda and the talented RL chef!
